Here we go. Autonomous vehicles are now mowing down cyclists.

I hope that Waymo's insurance is good!

Why TF are cars driving themselves around without people? Like the 1:1 ratio of cars to people wasn't bad enough now we need to clog up the roads and pollute our air even more and for what?? Like literally for what?

In this incident there was a passenger in the car. They were not injured.

The rolling taxis problem is still a thing though. I know there's lots for these self-driving cars to hang out in, but even that means a return trip back to base is without passengers.
